Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or AMF (Additive Manufacturing File) model files to a standard GLTF (Graphics Language Transmission Format) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple AMF files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.
To convert your AMF file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a GLTF file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the AMF to GLTF conversion process, see the conversion information section below.
| Extension | AMF |
| Full Name | Additive Manufacturing File |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | text/xml |
| Format | Text |
| Tools | AMF Converters, 3D Model Voxelizer, Create AMF Animation, Compress AMF, AMF Asset Extractor, Text to AMF, AMF Viewer |
The AMF, or additive manufacturing file format, is an open standard 3D file format primarily used within additive manufacturing processes such as 3D printing. The initial release version of the file was in 2011, and the format continues to be developed today.
As this is a 3D file format, the contents, which are XML-based, describe one or many 3D objects broken down into solid volumes defined with vertices and triangles. The format has support for color and texture materials.
When converting from AMF files, our tool will try to convert any geometric and color data found in the model file.
| Extension | GLTF |
| Full Name | Graphics Language Transmission Format |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | model/gltf-binary |
| Format | Binary |
| Tools | GLTF Converters, 3D Model Voxelizer, Create GLTF Animation, GLTF Asset Extractor, Text to GLTF, GLTF Viewer |
The GLTF file format, which can also have the GLB file extension depending on whether the content is binary or text, JSON is a 3D file format used to describe 3D worlds and, as such, contains geometric data such as vertices, faces, normals, animations, and other 3D scene-related data.
The format, described by its creators as the "JPEG of 3D", has gained in popularity and is supported by a wide range of 3D modeling applications such as Blender and MeshLab. The GLTF format is an open standard that is maintained by the Khronos Group.
Converting from the AMF file format to GLTF can be a complex process, and any tool used for this conversion process needs to be able to handle a variety of data conversion tasks as well as identify any defects within the 3D model and fix them. Here we will explain the conversion process used by our tool to accurately convert your AMF file to a valid GLTF 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:
In its simplest form, an AMF file is a plain text file containing human-readable 3D data such as vertices, faces, normals, and more. When combined, these make up the 3D model you see on your screen.
For more information regarding the AMF file format, please see this great article that goes into a lot of detail explaining the AMF format.
With the AMF file data read, our tool generates an internal representation of the full 3D model and will attempt to fix any geometry issues encountered. Along with repairing any issues with the 3D model, the tool will remove any duplicated vertices and prepare the model for exporting to the GLTF format.
With the conversion process entering its final stages, our tool now needs to take the in-memory 3D model we have created in step 2 and convert it to the GLTF format.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your AMF file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the AMF to GLTF conversion has completed, you can download your GLTF file straight away.
We aim to process all AMF to GLTF conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.
Yes, of course! We do not store the AMF file you submit to us. The resulting GLTF file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
No. All our conversion tools process your AMF file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted GLTF file quickly.
Yes! Our AMF to GLTF tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our AMF conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your AMF to GLTF, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
